      <title>Ballet Shoes Full kit</title>
      <description>I was asked to embroider and create something whimsical and pretty, suitable to hang off a cupboard key in a little girl&#8217;s room  (or maybe not so little, if you&#8217;re a romantic like I am!!) for Stitch magazine. This simple design uses elementary embroidery stitches and is suitable for a beginner, however the shoes are initially quite difficult to work with so if you have experience with needlecraft of any kind, it would be easier for you.
The ballet shoes are made in the UK  and are of satin fabric, with soft pure leather soles.
You will need to freehand the design onto the shoes, using the pattern as a guide.  A full kit is supplied which includes the ballet shoes, the ribbons, all embroidery threads, needles, beads, beading thread, 2 full color photographs, pattern and how to trace, clear step by step instructions and a stitch glossary.
All of my designer kits are beautifully packaged and presented in sturdy carrier bags, making them very suitable as gifts.</description>

      <title>Counting Sheep Pincushion Kit</title>
      <description>This design was featured in Stitch magazine, United Kingdom in December 2009! The design, measuring 3inches (7cm)in diameter introduces a beginner to simple stumpwork techniques. It incorporates a bit of stumpwork, with raised, textured stitches and threads. Suitable for a beginner to stumpwork, who has some knowledge of crewel embroidery stitches. With the pincushion, I have used drizzle stitch for one sheep, a slip of French knots appliqued onto the background for the second and a couched woollen thread for the third. Alternatively drizzle stitch can be used for all three sheep. Little wired horns complete the design. A full kit. All of my designer kits are beautifully packaged and presented in sturdy carrier bags, making them very suitable as gifts</description>

      <title>In an English Country Garden Needlecase Pattern &amp; Print kit</title>
      <description>I have created this new design for the person who has some experience of embroidery. The idea behind the design is that each person gets to create their own unique garden for their needlecase. A basic design is screened/printed onto the fabric as in picture 3. This is then added to from the design sheet supplied - the stitcher adds as many flowers as they would like to create their own garden. 
The design has been worked on a pure linen/cotton blend fabric, using perle No12 threads.
Fabric is supplied for the back and front of the needlecase ( 2 pieces x 18" x 9" or 45cm x 22cm) , as well as a small piece for the button. In addition backing muslin/calico is included as well as a comprehensive set of photographs, instructions and stitch glossary.
Finished size of design: 3 &amp; Half&#8221; x 6&#8221; or 8 x 15cm(embroidered area)
Finished size of needlecase: 5&#8221; x 6 &amp; Half&#8221; ( or as desired as plenty fabric included)
All of my designer pattern and print kits are beautifully packaged in cellophane bags, making them very suitable as gifts.

      <title>In an English Country Garden Needlecase Full Kit</title>
      <description>I have created this new design for the person who has some experience of embroidery. The idea behind the design is that each person gets to create their own unique garden for their needlecase. A basic design is screened/printed onto the fabric as in picture 3. This is then added to from the design sheet supplied - the stitcher adds as many flowers as they would like to create their own garden. 
The design has been worked on a pure linen/cotton blend fabric, using perle No12 threads.
Fabric is supplied for the back and front of the needlecase , as well as for the button. In addition backing muslin/calico is included as well as a full set of skeins of thread, lining, button for covering, woolen doctor's flannel for needle leaves, needles and a comprehensive set of photographs, instructions and stitch glossary.
Finished size of design: 3&amp; Half&#8221; x 6&#8221; or 8 x 15cm(embroidered area)
Finished size of needlecase: 5&#8221; x 6&amp; Half&#8221; ( or as desired as plenty fabric included)
All of my designer kits are beautifully packaged and presented in sturdy carrier bags, making them very suitable as gifts.</description>
